New Stores in PR	Times change
	Usury anyone?

  Sign of the times

hard times draws in the ‘money lenders’

A CBC program questioned if the rates etc charged by these stores did not fall under the Usury laws of Canada and thus illegal ---- still they fill a ‘need’ by poor people unable to get loans or government assistance

Kids games?

	Don’t understand this?
	A friend counted 40 kids inside this store playing games presumably with the ‘action figures’ as illustrated on the poster Here is a web site selling similar;-- presumably this is the ‘monopoly’ board game of another generation

Furniture?

	Company branched into Rupert after several stores ‘up river’ from here

Course haven’t included the sex store etc on 3^rd
